Friday the 13th, Goes right into Valentine's Day!

---------------------------------------------------
It's not known for certain how the superstition surrounding this day arose, but both Friday and the number 13 are connected with the crucifixion of Christ (Friday being the day the crucifixion took place, commemorated weekly in Catholic practice, and 13 being the number of people present at the Last supper). According to Phillips Stevens, Jr., associate professor of anthropology at the University at Buffalo (SUNY), "There were 13 people at the table (at the Last Supper) and the 13th was Judas. The Last Supper was on a Thursday, and the next day was Friday, the day of crucifixion. When '13' and Friday come together, it is a double whammy."

  1. So it had a Christian beginning? Who knew? Then it's not a day of bad luck.

  2. And to add to the double whammy March will have a Friday the 13th as well! Perfect pairing of Friday the 13th and Valentine's Day.

  3. I don't believe in magic numbers but both 13 and 23 are popular with the "whoo whoo" crowd

  4. I don't believe in the bad luck of Friday 13th but lots of people do. Bad things happen every day.
